The PACT Vision

Circular diagram with sections labeled Knowledge, Skills, Ethics, Community, and Science surrounding the logo of the Professional Association of Canine Trainers (PACT).

Our vision is to revolutionise the companion animal training sector. Through teaching, coaching & accrediting Animal Training Instructors using up-to-date, science-led methods, we promote the importance of understanding and appreciating canine behaviour, ethology & learning.

Supporting dog training & behaviour professionals with their emotional, physical & mental wellbeing is one of our top priorities, as well as reducing the environmental impact of living & working with companion animals.
